I got a letter about an unconditional offer for psychology but on track it still says conditional. :/ Does anyone know if I have to give it time to change or if it should have changed straight away? Thanks x

If it's only an unconditional offer if you firm it then it won't change on track xxx

I was sent an email from RHUL saying if I firm the offer, they will change it to an unconditional. It still says conditional on Track even after I firmed it but I read that it takes time for them to change it, RHUL has to contact UCAS and inform them etc so you should give it time to change. If it still doesn't change after a while, I recommend calling up the uni as I plan to do so if it remains the same xx

Anyone get a surprise offer?

I applied for rhul fully expecting them to reject me, as they literally said, "we will not even consider you if you have predicted grades of lower than an ABB" (This is for Psychology)

The other day I received an offer from them (AAB - same as stated entry requirements) within an hour of them receiving my application. I have predicted grades of BBB, and my AS grades are not great. (We don't have to go into that haha)

Anyone else on the Applicant Day this Wednesday?

I'd advise that you read the other threads on here about psychology at Royal Holloway before you firm it! Anyway, if you are predicted anything ABB or above you could almost certainly get in to a Russell Group Uni?

Well, everyone who applies to university is nervous. And good grades don't always guarantee an offer. That's just the general feeling so I don't understand why you have to sound so harsh lol.

I'm not sure exactly but I have a unconditional (if I firm RHUL) and my predicted grades are A*AA and I have no AS grades (I'm sitting both AS and A2 together this year)

Hey there,

You might be interested in exploring our campus at one of our Virtual Open Days. We are a campus based University located just outside of London. Students generally enjoy our close proximity to London whilst also favouring our close knit community feel. Yesterday four of our students took over our official twitter account, sharing their experiences of applying to, living and studying at Royal Holloway. I would recommend that you check this out to see what our students think about studying here.

Hi, I've graduate from Roho! It's a beautiful place and you're going to have many fond memories there. It's very campus-based; as a result you get a real sense of community there - especially if you're the sociable type. You will likely see the same faces on SU and Medicine nights! There's also lots of international students - in particular, Japanese, Russian, Kazakh, Chinese. Not as many Indians from what i remember, but still quite a large amount. Same goes for Korean. Roho advertises to overseas students ALOT - I have a feeling that's where it's getting its money from! As a result it's definitely very multi-cultural which is great.
It's also quite preppy though...lots of middle-class people wearing Jack Wills type thing. But you will find lots of different sorts of people. Most people are really nice and down to earth.
I dont' know many people who went to London regularly, but it's there if you want to go. About a 35-50train ride depending if you get the fast or slow train I think. Like I said, it's very campus based. So expect lots of house parties if you're the sociable type.
It honestly is lovely there, although you do tend to forget you live in a bit of bubble

rhul was my third offer for Psychology and I've now had all my five offers, but I'm so torn between my top three! Is Royal Holloway a respected place for psychology, and does anybody know how easy it is to transfer from Psychology to the Psychology, clinical and cognitive neuroscience course? ty :-)

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in response.

It should indeed be possible for you to switch programmes within Psychology. Please email [email protected] with your name, UCAS ID and Royal Holloway ID (if you have it!) along with this request and they should be able to help you out :smile:
